New Years in New Orleans 01/01/2025

New Years in New Orleans

Terror and tragedy strike Bourbon Street leaving 10 dead and dozens injured & hospitalized.

“This kind of thing never happens around here …”

BUT: It DID happen just a few hours ago.

It was the first time. That means there is the possibility of a “next time”.

Now our responsibility is to learn what we can from what just happened

You must ask yourself: “Is the event worth the risks involved”?

Many times the answer is YES! I will not let fear control my life. I can learn from the history of what’s happened to others and plan to minimize my risks.

Invest in Good Training AND Good Gear.

Because … IT’S WORTH IT.

“Suddenly, there was a terrible explosion… I realized that the island was under attack. I ran out of my tent and saw the planes. They came down and strafed us. It was a fearful sight–bombs were exploding all around me, planes with their guns blazing. I thought, ‘My God, this is war!'”
~ Private Robert C. Martin, U.S. Army Air Corps

Defensive Cane Tactics Workshop, Part 2 26/11/2024

Walking Cane Self-Defense Tactics Part 2
Saturday, December 7th
Tacoma, WA

After our last quick cane video we got a lot of requests for what to expect at our training workshop. With this video you'll have a better idea of how a Walking Cane can be used for self-defense.

A Walking Cane is often considered a Mobility Device. A proper Walking Cane may also be effective as a Personal Defensive tool.

Walking Canes are accepted:
.. Onboard Airlines
… Government Buildings
.. Gun-Free Zones
.. Almost Everywhere!

With professional training, a proper Walking Cane may become a “Personal Protection Device”. This course will give you the skills and techniques to add a layer of confidence wherever you travel.

Hidden in plain sight, your cane is a potential weapon that you can bring with you anywhere you go. But what is the most interesting about using canes for self-defense is the element of surprise. Because your attackers will see your cane as a sign of weakness or disability. Even a simple block with your protective cane can cause your attacker serious pain (especially if you manage to hit a bone).

A good self-defense cane is a lifesaver in situations where you don't have access to other weapons.

Tuition per student (Includes training defensive cane. Upgrades available): $775

For more information go to our website at https://oldschoolgunschool.com/defensive-cane-tactics

Once you have made a PLAN you will have more confidence and security than ever before.

Call NOW to register! (360) 378-1776.

"Sometimes you go to the circus, sometimes the circus comes to you."
- Ed Monk

An important lesson for all of us. Life isn't always rainbows, unicorns and butterflies. We don't have to be paranoid, but we need to be prepared. Part of being prepared is being aware of your surroundings and what and who is around us.

Stack the deck in your favor.

Look around before getting out of your car or store when going back to your car.

Don't be distracted by being on your phone. This makes us vulnerable and an easy victim.

If something looks like trouble, pick a different direction.

Get the proper training so you'll be prepared to protect yourself and loved ones.

Not everyone needs a firearm. EVERYONE NEEDS A PLAN.

Stay safe...

Our Story

Join us for defensive firearm safety & skills that you can bet your life on!

Our courses are designed in a logical, step-by-step progression that makes it easy for gun owners of any background to progress through their training in a safe, and confident manner. We keep our classes small. Our returning students often refer to us as the “Old School Gun School”. Maybe that’s because there is nothing “New Age” or “Revolutionary” about firearm safety and skills and the concepts that we teach. Defensive handgun training can be a very personal experience. Everyone is different, and every firearm is different. Finding that perfect match is a balance of reliable information, directed experimentation, and knowledgeable, personal training.

Give us a day … maybe a few days … maybe even a week or two … and you will come away with an expanded level of knowledge, competency and confidence you may not have thought possible. You will be in the company of other like-minded students and caring, supportive instructors that will lead you through a comprehensive, proven curriculum of defensive firearm safety and skills that will result in a practiced skill set you will keep for a lifetime.

Is that a big statement? Yes, it is. But don’t just take our word for it. Go to our testimonials page and read about the experiences of others that have walked this path.
